    Roxy, my server, was super friendly and helpful in her recommendations. She let me know of their upcoming specials and gave me a coupon when I mentioned coming back with my family. So sweet and welcoming. I had the mole enchiladas and house margarita - tasty and filling. Taco Tuesday and Enchilada Thursdays! The location is in a small but vibrant cozy nook with cute shops. Very charming.

    Great stop in Old Town San Clemente! I love their carnitas tacos but the Relleno Del Mar is my ultimate favorite! Quirky little hole in the wall place, great staff & hidden gem that shouldn't be missed. Taco Tuesday is a hit!

    Been coming here for (closing in on) 20 years now and its been great food, great service and a great bar the whole time. I love the big patio and the taco Tuesday. La siesta was on par, but being on the hwy... this location is way more chill

    We LOVE Los Patios! Is is definitely a local gem. They have managed to stay affordable as well. The food is always authentic and fresh and delicious and the setting in Old Town is quaint. I judge a Mexican restaurants food first and foremost by the salsa! Los Patios does not disappoint! It is probably my favorite salsa. I always go home with some. The best thing about this place, even with delicious food and margaritas? The service is always 100% on point. Friendly staff and good service is key for me. We regularly have Roxy as our server and she is attentive, friendly, fun, and an absolute delight. She will always chitchat with me about delicious Mexican recipes and techniques! The personal touch is what keeps us coming back. Our kids live in Temecula and every time they visit they want a trip to Los Patios. Check it out if you love great food and service with the chill San Clemente vibe. We locals will share.

    Our server was great, very attentive. Authentic Mexican food. Husband enjoyed the wet carnitas burrito and I ordered the chicken enchiladas with mole. The flavor of the mole was really good.
